You can find the album to listen for free, here:
- Spotify:

If you like the album, please consider share this with your friends/groups
If this goes against the rules, please delete this thread.
Thank you!

Hey all,
I want to again take the time to thank this community for allowing me the platform to showcase my work and honestly, a really enjoyable personal project. I've put a lot of heart and soul into this project and I hope the effort has translated to your enjoyment thus far, and that I can hopefully do so again with Part 2 sometime in the future.
That said, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm pleased to announce that Project Kingdom XIII is now available on every major music distribution platform NOW including iTunes, Google Play Music, and Amazon Music. [QUICK LINK]
Of course you can find the complete project for free elsewhere such as Soundcloud, Spotify, and YouTube, but if you feel like giving a small kickback, it's very much appreciated and helps in developing Part 2 of PKXIII AND more music productions. And of course, if you want to get fancy with your support, I have shirts and other goodies available in my merch store that helps me out a little, and of course, there's always Patreon
THANK YOU SO MUCH KINGDOM HEARTS COMMUNITY and I can't wait to express my hype and excitement with you as well for Kingdom Hearts 3!
Best Regards!!

This is my first flute cover I post online! I didn't have much time to work on it specifically (posted it right before a trip, and wouldn't be able to record for a while) so it was a bit rushed. Hadn't shared it here though, so hope you guys like it regardless.
Also please note that this is my interpretation of the full thing, with a few original twists, but including a passage from the full thing. Since Skrillex himself played the full track in public I don't think it's much of a problem, but still, listen at your own risk!

Hey all,
First I want to say thank you very much for enjoying Project Kingdom XIII. Pretty soon, all tracks will be up...pretty much everywhere from iTunes to Bandcamp. To finally put a nice bow on Part 1 of this project, I created an special interlude that will be available on the streaming versions soon and on the download versions (not available on YouTube though). Super short, but I really liked how the end came out ^_^
ENJOY Sora's Promise!
ONE MORE MONTH TO GO!

So since it's quiet on the KH3 news front, I thought I'd write a little post about some of the returning music in KH3
Obviously we can expect plenty of new themes from Yoko Shimomura, (For example the toy story world & battle themes), but I've noticed a few old or remixed music tracks in the trailers:
- Hand in Hand (Attraction Flow theme)
- An Adventure in Atlantica (Ariel summon)
- The Deep End (Rock Titan boss)
- Shrouding Dark Cloud (Gigas Mech battle)
- Hunter of the Dark (Heartless Doll fight)
- Some form of Fate of the Unknown/Aqua's theme (Aqua fight)
I'm sure we can expect other familiar tunes, like Destati and of course, Dearly Beloved. Personally I'm hoping for a variant of 'Another Side' like this (@ 40 seconds)
https://youtu.be/yxF0h156sDk
Also heard in 'The 13th Dilemma' and 'Showdown at Hollow Bastion'
Anyone else have some thoughts on what they think/would like to see return music-wise?

This is a question for all of those on here who stumble upon this topic, and have also had the pleasure of playing the KH3 Demo, be it at one of the recent conventions or the Premiere Event,
How did Dearly Beloved sound like?
The reason I ask is because I watched HMK's demo impressions on Youtube, and he made a comment on how good the Dearly Beloved sounded.
So I ask you all, for those who have maybe listened to it and bothered to take it in: how did it sound like?
Was it an old version, or the brand new one meant for KHIII?
What was the feeling that you got for it. An example would be the 358/2 Days version emitting a hint of tragedy, whilst KH1's depicted the starting of a new journey, KH2's being the halfway point of that journey, and BBS's theme seeming to allude to awakening. Those are my impressions from listening to those versions of Dearly Beloved.
So what are the impressions you get from the KHIII demo version of Dearly Beloved?

Hey all! A few days ago, I posted my jazz cover of Utada's new theme song for Kingdom Hearts 3, "Chikai" / "Don't Think Twice" (depending on what you want to call it). Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think (if you like it, there are links in the video description where you can download/stream my cover!)

Hey folks!
So this is going to be a longish post regarding the music of BOTH KH and moreso KH3.
So first thing is about the KH 2018 orchestra world tour going on currently. I've been hearing about a beautiful arrangement for Oath being performed at the current run of the tour...And although I have found live videos, I am dying to hear a real deal recorded version..So I'm curious if anyone knows if they are planning on doing a "second breath" CD or something?? I would love for it to also feature some stuff I was really sad that didn't make it onto the first soundtrack (Ventus' theme, Sanctuary/Passion, Organization 13 theme, 100 Acre Wood, Working Together, Mysterious Tower theme, One Winged Angel - maybe melding both the classic version and the Advent Children metal version?, etc. - feel free to chime in with any suggestions you may have too!!).
Now the second thing was regarding Nomura's comments about FF characters being in KH3....Since a majority of them are FF7 characters as it's the most popular entry (my favorite too) - I would personally LOVE to hear Aerith's theme in KH3. If nothing else just to add onto the whirlpool of emotions already attached at the hip to KH3 (plus, can you imagine if it was also a beautifully composed, UPDATED piece for this day and age?? Ugh the feels.) But would any one else enjoy that?
Thirdly, the anticipated would be "new" version of the iconic Simple and Clean...What would you guys and gals like to see happen for that? Personally I'm low-key expecting either a dubstep or rap version of it lmao (75% kidding)...Honestly I'd be fine with an even more slowed down version like that of Hikari but with singing....
And lastly - While on the subject, how would you like the final fight with Xehanort to be handled musically? I have this image in my head (which I'll go into at a later date in a video) of it being a very intense polarizing (and prolly long) fight with a darker more intense Hikari playing with like choral singing in the back (like that of the aforementioned One Winged Angel)?
TL;DR - 4 things. 1 - Do you think we'll receive a second KH orchestra tour soundtrack (esp with some KH3 music and new additions from past entries)? Has there been any talk of that? I wanna hear this orchestrated Oath. 2 - Would anyone else besides yours enjoy hearing an updated version of Aerith's theme (FF7) somehow in KH3? 3 - If there is a new one...What do you anticipate the "new" version of Simple and Clean will sound like? 4 - Musically, how do you envision the final confrontation with Xehanort? I picture a more darker version of S&C with choral background singers.
Feel free to let me.know what y'all think!! Let's get some good discussions going!!
